Tip of the Day
We all know the stereotype that creative genius comes married with mental illness. Suffering for your art, or something like that.
What if we turned that upside down – used creative expression as a treatment for depression?
Doing something creative – writing a haiku, gardening, painting, etc. – can move you. Get you moving. Lift you out of the doldrums.
So try it! Be creative! Write a story or paint the living room. Whip up a brand new recipe. Create something and see if it shifts your focus and your mood.
